Team work
*** Back to present ***
Nick knew she missed him, Mr Mo told him few times. Up until just now, He always assumed he was the most suffer one during their seperation. He didn't expect her sorrow was no less then him.
"Alice. At that time, I gave up on us. I just let time heal my wound. I tought you didn't want me" Nick gashed. He tried to control his emotion.
"sstt. Please say no more" Alice put her index finger on his lips. Then she pecked his lips and put her head on her chest.
"I am sory. You wasn't there when I needed you, You always next to me when I was sad. But I wasn't with you when you needed me. I am so sorry" She sobbed.
"So.. What is your compensation for me ?" Nick was joking.
"I'll be with you until you didn't want me. even if one day you didn't want me, I will still be with you watching you from far" She really meant it. she had devoted her self to him.
"I'll take it for granted then. Lets learn from that tragedy so we can live happily in the future" Nick giggled. He swore that he would treasure her until the end, never gave up on her ever again.
Nick and Alice agreed the faster they completed his parent request was the better. So, Nick submitted his leave request for three days. They were confident to complete their mission within that time framd. As soon as his three days leave application was proved, they booked the first available flight country T which was the following Tuesday.
On saturday, Nick took alice to visit bridal shop in the morning before heading to the Fengs old house. It was recommended by one of his colleagues. From all available collection, Alice fancied a simple but elegant white wedding gown for her and a black tuxedo for Nick "Can I try this one ? and this for him ?".
"sure" the store manager signaled one of the shop keeper to helped her, and and the manager guided Nicm to the other fitting room to try his tux.
Nick was back with his Tux, when the shopkeeper open the curtain of Alice fitting room.
"What do you think" Alice asked him while observing their reflection on the large mirror.
He was stunned " Pretty, awesome. But isn't it to simple?"
" no, I like it. I have my own idea. Wow you are so handsome with this tux." she winked at him
" Do you want me to take picture ?" the shop assistant was willing to lend a hand.
"yes please" Alice handed her phone to her.
"Both of you are perfectly match" the assistant statement made alice shy
"We take these two, please" Alice decided.
"sure. I'll ask my staff to adjust some part to make it perfectly fit with you. It may take a month or so" the manager called another staff to mark some adjustment before Alice took off her wedding gown
By the time, they arrived at the main house it's already afternoon. Full team excluded Sean and Alan was there in the living rooms.
"what ever your plans are, you need to discuss it the them. It's their wedding."
"Mum, if we tell them it won't be surprise anymore ?
Nick and Alicehey heard Mrs Feng and Sasha were arguing. Nick frowned "what are they plotting?".
Alice chuckled "They are not that bad".
They entered the living room and greet everyone. Mr and Mrs Feng was sitting on the two seater sofa, where as the rest was sitting on the floor around the coffee table.
"Hi Mum, dad." Alice came and took the empty three seater sofa and Nick was next to her.
"Oh.. you are here".
" why are you late ?" Cacha pouted.
"We just visit a bridal shop. I've got my wedding gown" Alice showed them her picture before anyone said anything.
"But is it to simple ?" Lana complained.
"I am going to add few detail. You know in my country tradition that we need to change dress for 7 times during wedding day. I plan to add different thing so with one dress I have 3 or 4 different clothes style. I also am going to find a red dress and do the same. so I don't need 7 different dress for my wedding"
Everyone were astonished
Nick chuckled. He knew every one was lost "Alice studied fashion design before. Also, She is going to make mom and you girls gown"
"including me ?" Lana looked at Nick and Alice. Alice cocked.
"Awesome.." The girls chorused together
"Big sister, let me help you" Josh begged
"tell me what I need to do. I know how to make dress as well. Please let me help".
Alice hestitated first but Nick spoke for Josh"Let him help, he is good on that"
"Ok, I have finished the basic pattern for all of them. lets discuss next week after we are back from country T".
Cacha was the first one to submit her work. she handed out piles of folders "Mr and Mrs, here are the wedding invitation sample. choose one and how many to order ?" She smiled proudly. Alice and Nick selected few and asked Mr and Mrs Feng opinion.
"I like this one but I want different colour, I want punch pink with silver. I think 40 should be enough" Alice decided.
"sure, noted. For the bride hand bouquet, uncle G will do it. you know him, he was very passionate about. these only for bridesmaids. Rsvp officer will be bro Sean and Alan. They said Ok already" Cacha wrote something at the back of the card that Alice chose.
Alice was not familiar with this Uncle G that Cacha mentioned. Sasha could
read Alice face expression "Uncle G is mum friend". Alice nodded. Then she selected the hnd bouquet.
"Here are the wedding cake sample. you can choose what type of cake you like" Cacha continued after hand bouquet resolved.
